If modern black-box electronics don't go well with the more timeless decor of your home, perhaps it's time to camouflage them. In this case, that means turning a vintage radio into a modern Wi-Fi model.

Instructables user Alinke converted the shell of a vintage radio into the housing for a modern net streaming box with some elbow grease and ingenuity. By modifying the existing faceplate of the radio to accept the screen and buttons of his Wi-Fi radio and painting the buttons to match the color of the faceplate, he created a nearly seamless appearance—save for the presence of the LCD screen, the radio looks original.
